(a)
The acceleration of the panel and the tension in the cord after the system released from rest.
Answer to Problem 12.29P
Acceleration of the panel
Tension in the cord
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Weight of panel
Weight of the counterweight
First, we draw the free body diagram and kinetic diagram of the panel:
F = force exerted by counterweight
Weight
Now, force
Now, computing the forces for counterweight A,
For this we draw the free body and kinetic diagram of the counterweight A;
Hence, from the above diagram it is clear that the acceleration component of counterweight A has two components.
Now,
Now, adding equation (1), (2) and (3);
Now, Tension in the cord from equation (3),

Answer to Problem 12.29P
Acceleration of the panel
Tension in the cord
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Weight of panel
Weight of the counterweight
First, we draw the free body diagram and kinetic diagram of the panel:

Weight
Now, force
Since, panel is accelerated to the left, there is no force exerted by the panel on counterweight hence;
Now, computing the forces for counterweight A,
For this, we draw the free body and kinetic diagram of the counterweight A;
Now, adding equation (1) and (2);
Now, Tension in the cord from equation (1),

- Boxes A and B are at rest on a conveyor belt that is initially at rest. The belt is suddenly started in an upward direction so that slipping occurs between the belt and the boxes. Knowing that the coefficients of kinetic friction between the belt and the boxes are (μk) A= 0.30 and (μk)B= 0.32, determine the initial acceleration of each box.arrow_forwardA 500-lb crate B is suspended from a cable attached to a 40-lb trolley A which rides on an inclined I-beam as shown.
